Omarchy hardware guides
Answers to the installation, compatibility, migration, and buying questions that recur across real hardware reports.
-
Will Omarchy work with my NVIDIA GPU?
Sometimes. Omarchy has explicit NVIDIA installation and session paths, but hybrid laptops, GPU generation, and display wiring can still change the result.
-
Which used Macs are worth buying for Omarchy?
The security-chip cohort changes the installation burden and missing features; price only matters after that split.
-
Which laptops run Omarchy with the fewest compromises?
Brand names are too broad. The useful comparison is exact generation, GPU topology, display and input hardware, and the fixes Omarchy applies to that SKU.
-
Can I install Omarchy without wiping my computer?
Yes through the documented free-space path in a narrow layout; no as a general promise to preserve an arbitrary existing system.
-
Omarchy won't boot or install. What should I check first?
Name the last successful phase before changing anything: the same black screen or error text can point to the ISO, firmware, GPU handoff, target-disk layout, boot entry, or network driver.
-
What can I move to a new Omarchy machine today?
Configuration and personal data can be backed up deliberately, but v4.0.1 does not document a one-command whole-workstation migration.
